In our state, dams have been built on many rivers. These
dams are used to produce the electricity we need, but they also create problems for fish and other wildlife near the rivers. Therefore, we should not build any more dams. Instead, we should use solar energy, or energy from the sun, to produce electricity. This will help us protect our wildlife and enjoy the natural beauty around us.

The first people known to enjoy chocolate were the Aztec
Indians in Mexico. Aztec people, especially the kings,
enjoyed a drink they called “chocolati,” the original hot
chocolate. After visiting Mexico in 1519, the Spanish
explorer Hernando Cortez brought chocolate back to Spain for the Spanish royal families to enjoy. Hundreds of years later, chocolate was made and sold in stores in Europe. Today the sweet, rich, treat is enjoyed around the world.

Some people want to build a skateboard park in my
neighborhood, but other people are against it. People in
favor of the skateboard park believe that the park will
provide a safe and enjoyable place for young people to
exercise. They claim that teenagers also need a place to
meet with friends after school. People against the
skateboard park believe that skateboarding is dangerous and the town should not encourage young people to skateboard. They want to put a garden in the space instead.

Old maps are alike and different from maps made today. As the world keeps changing, our maps change too. One 4000‐ year‐old map is made of clay in different colors. It has symbols that stand for rivers, mountains and city gates. Another old map from 1866 shows the United States. Hawaii and Alaska are not on it. The map was made before they became states. Long ago, people made maps as they walked. They drew each tiny bend along the path. Now, pictures from space satellites give a clear view of the land and water. Infrared maps from satellites use color to show hills and valleys on Mars. Maps show us where we have been and how far we have come.

The earth’s crust is made up mostly of hard, rocky
substances, though some of these substances have crumbled into dirt from years of exposure to wind and rain and roots of plants. That crust is many miles thick (though the part under the ocean is thinner than the part on the land.) Underneath the crust is a layer called the mantle. The mantle is about 1800 miles thick. Below the mantle is the earth’s core, which is made up of two layers called the inner and outer core.
